Bill Rodgers is not 5'10". I know him well, have stood next to him many times. He's 5'8" and his normal racing weight was 130-135!

Based on the RW interview, that seems like a simple, probable option--and/or a very poorly designed taper.
How does she taper to run a very fast 10,000? I doubt she allowed her body to recover prior to Boston as she she has for those....

Sorry, ms15, I was wrong.

patti might have the I stood next to him many times advantage over you not to mention number of times the were each others house guest or miles run around Jamaica Pond together years known or times they sat in the back yard just watching her kids grow or just doing nothing in that quite contentment born of long friendship..
Shorter is right: She overstrides.

I have "stood" next to my wife thousands of times and she's certain it's 10 inches.
Shalane might be right that it would be harder on her to run that course than others, but I was thinking that her time from last year when she set the USA womens Boston record would have WON it by 2 min this year...! ?

There are plenty of similar stories. This guy, for example, was hit by a car about two weeks before the race below and had to significantly curtail his training:
